[quote=Anonymous]Probably the best way is to find a competent (individual is usually better) funeral home and do a complete pre-plan, including outline of any service, music, cemetery, readings, readers, etc. Then “it is what Dad wanted” is the response, and since he was the client, not your sister, she should get politely rebuffed if she tries her usual antics, which she will. It is dicey to include funeral plans in a will, but he could do that, and he could appoint you personal representative. You might not get the letters testamentary before the funeral, but you’d have something in writing. Ask a lawyer. Finally, while I saw it as terribly cruel at the time, I understand better now why a family I knew did not even tell the “problem child” of the death until everything was over. I haven’t personally seen it, but there are people who hire off duty police to cover the funeral in these circumstances. [/quote]
